that one's on a cd i have. it's fun. i also know haul away joe (from the last fiona post comments) - my dad sings it. but i didn't know all of those verses, so that's fun.
hope everyone's doing well, i got my fiddle in the mail a week or so ago and finally took it out and practiced this afternoon :) for fiona's edification, my brand new fiddle book is called "cruinn comhla: the well travelled fiddler's session collection" compiled and arranged by christine martin and anne hughes, publised on the isle of skyeby taigh na teud, www.scotlandsmusic.com in case you're interested.
i started reading "the promise" by chaim potok (sequel to "the chosen", his best-known book) and now i'm totally absorbed and can't do anything but read it. which is unfortunate, because my assignment for this week is to read a different book, about michigan conservation, which is SO INCREDIBLY BORING BEYOND BELIEF THAT MY HEAD EXPLODES every time i even think about reading it. really it's not so bad, it's just that none of it seems to be even relavent to what we're doing - they only talk about the parts of michigan that we're not studying, and when they do talk about our study area it's only about the parts of our study area that we're not studying (we're studying land use - they talk about the water and air polution).
anyone who's interested in arguing about religion, feminism and nietzsche, take a peek at community. i met a woman last night at temple who just got her doctorate in feminist philosophy, she's a brandeis grad and she knew the town of wellesley because her roommate in college was from there!
in other news - i watched bastard out of carolina last night. it was good, and well acted, but i would not recommend it. *ouch* is the only reaction. (it's about child abuse) and (drumroll please) ... i am finally going to get a cell phone! if my mom ever gets her act together, that is. verison gave her a deal where i can share her minutes, get a cheap phone, and only pay not so much each month. this means that if anyone calls me on it before 9 on a weekday, they will not be able to talk for more than the three seconds it takes to say "i'll call you back after 9", but i will be able to have lengthy conversations for free any other time (i.e. from 9pm-6am on weekdays and after 9pm on fridays-6am on mondays). i will let people know my phone number once my mom gets around to setting up the account and sending me my phone :)
